Upon entering the main hall of the Black Dragon Palace, Old Wang was calmly sipping fragrant tea. Turning his head, he saw Jiang Hao and his companion emerge, and Old Wang immediately stood up.

"Oh, the two gentlemen have come out. Looks like you've had quite a haul. Let's weigh the gold."

The two followed him to a table in the hall. On it was a balance scale. Jiang Hao looked at the tray and saw that it was only about the size of a teacup.

"Too small, too small, get another one, get another one."

"Gentlemen, please bring out your gold. This scale is accurate to 0.001 grams..."

"Okay! Alright."

"Why?"

Old Wang looked at Jiang Hao and the other man with some surprise, wondering if he had misheard.

"The scale is too small, too small. Let's get a bigger one."

Old Wang's eyes widened in disbelief. However, he reacted quickly, leading Jiang Hao and the other man to a nearby table. He pointed to a one-meter-long steelyard balance on the table.

"Is this scale enough for weights under 20 kilograms?"

"It's still too small, it's still too small, let's get another one, let's get another one."

The tens of thousands of sows said disdainfully.

There were only these two scales in the entire hall. Old Wang looked around blankly, then his face lit up with joy. He walked to the other corner of the hall and pointed to a half-square-sized tablet on the ground.

"This scale is a brand new one we just got from number 6528. It can be accurate down to a single saliva drop, and it can weigh up to 360 pounds. Is that enough?"

"Still too small, still too small, let's get another one, let's get another one!"

Tens of thousands of sows are still somewhat dissatisfied.

Jiang Hao felt that the scene looked familiar, so he spoke to the tens of thousands of sows.

"Great Sage, why don't you just try their Sea-Stabilizing Needle!"

"Are you two perhaps making fun of this old man?"

Old Wang's face immediately fell.

"Who's kidding you? With a scale like that, who knows how long it'll take? Get a new one, get a new one!"

Old Wang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"Alright, if you really have that much gold ore, come with me to the shipyard. There are ten-ton scales there. But that's a military-controlled area, are you sure you want to?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Let's go!"

Tens of thousands of sows pulled Old Wang away, and Jiang Hao quickly followed.

As he reached the door, Old Wang casually remarked to the two guards in black armor.

"You two come with me."

There were still many players in the square. Seeing a level 1 assassin leading a level 30 NPC, followed by the Lord of Hell and two level 40 guards, Jiang Hao's gossip spirit immediately ignited. Adhering to the principle that "only a fool wouldn't watch a good show," he promptly joined Jiang Hao's group.

The procession turned right at the entrance of the Black Dragon Hall, walked a dozen steps, turned right again, and headed east towards Jinling City. After crossing a small bridge and passing through the warrior class area, they turned right again at the end of the warrior living area. After walking over a hundred meters, the view suddenly opened up before them.

In a square the size of a basketball court, soldiers came and went in an endless stream, and small carts shuttled back and forth. Further away, from the main gate, came the roar of machinery and the clanging of steel against steel.

Jiang Hao was completely dumbfounded.

Wow, there's actually a shipyard in this game?

Why is the game designed this way?

Isn't the game's background a bit too rich?

As the group drew closer, a squad of guards from the square approached them.

"Stop! Military zone! All unauthorized personnel, stand back!"

The crowd finally stopped. Old Wang, all smiles, reached into his pocket and pulled out a bronze plaque. As he handed it to the captain of the guards, he secretly slipped something into his hand. Jiang Hao only saw a glint of gold and wasn't sure if it was a gold coin.

"Excuse me, sir. I am the head of the Black Dragon Hall. Today, a very important customer has come to visit and would like to borrow the shipyard's weighbridge."

The guard leader flipped the plaque in his hand, remaining silent.

Old Wang quickly pulled out another iron plaque from his pocket and handed it over. At the same time, he slipped two gold coins into the man's hand.

It's definitely two pieces! Jiang Hao could see it clearly.

The leader then handed both plaques back to the Black Dragon Hall's chief administrator.

"Well, since it's Black Dragon Palace's business, it's naturally also Jinling City's business. But you have a lot of people."

"Sir, sir, not many, not many. These are my only two customers."

Old Wang pointed to Jiang Hao and tens of thousands of sows.

"Then the three of you can go in."

"Sir, sir, these two are also from our shop. Please allow them to pass."

Old Wang pointed to the two guards in his shop.

"Stop talking so much nonsense, if it's the three of you, then it's the three of you."

The leader lost his temper and gave a signal to his guards. A dozen or so guards in white armor swarmed forward, chasing away the two guards in black armor, along with more than 20 players who had come to watch. They drove them into an alley in the warriors' living area, where the dozen or so guards lined up and blocked the passage to the square.

When Old Wang saw this scene, his eyes immediately narrowed.

"Come on, let's go inside. The scales are over there."

The leader pointed to the center of the square and said in an unfriendly tone.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Looking at the soldiers coming and going in the square, Old Wang quickly bowed and led Jiang Hao and the other man toward the center of the square.

"Alright, gentlemen, you can put the goods up now."

As Old Wang said this, he subtly shook his head at the tens of thousands of sows, who immediately understood. He then took out a golden stone the size of a goose egg from his backpack.

The guard leader stared wide-eyed, while Old Wang's eyes narrowed as he looked at the tens of thousands of sows in disbelief. He then shook his head again at the sight of the sows.

The tens of thousands of sows had long understood his meaning. They placed the golden stone on the scale and said to Old Wang.

"Alright, let's weigh it."

"Okay, okay. Let me show you the weight."

Old Wang hurriedly ran to the scale to check the weight, but his arm was grabbed by the guard leader.

"Are you guys trying to amuse me?"

The guard leader's face turned extremely ugly.

"A rock the size of a quail egg, do you really need a shipyard's scale? You fucking keep putting more on it!"

"No, no, sir, really no. The scale in my shop broke, but I couldn't delay my esteemed customer from exchanging gold coins, so I dared to bother you."

"Who do you think you are? What business is it of yours how much I put in? I have more in my backpack, but I don't want to put any in today. What are you going to do about it?"

Seeing that the guard leader clearly intended to seize the property by force, the tens of thousands of sows also became enraged.

The guard leader glanced at Old Wang, then at the tens of thousands of sows, and then at Jiang Hao, who had been standing silently to the side. Suddenly, as if he had found the person in charge, he looked at Jiang Hao sideways and said.

"So that's who it is. It turns out they have citizenship in Nanjing."

"Hey? What does this have to do with me? I didn't say a word!"
